Chapter 55 Café @ Tiong Bahru

At Chapter 55, you won’t have to dread long waiting times ‘cos the space is huge! This is one of the largest cafés in Tiong Bahru I believe, facing the main road, just next to Ah Bong’s Italian. A vintage-British theme runs throughout the café, spotting a predictable brick wall and vintage items.
I’m glad to see the tables being spaced out – great for HTHTs (heart-to-heart-talks), don’t you think?

At Chapter 55, you’ll find homemade gelatos too!Waffles with Lychee Martini Ice cream & Pulut Hitam Ice Cream ($18, after taxes) – The price is steep for a plate of this dessert no doubt. However, I must say that the portion is rather substantial – good to share between 3. What I really liked about this was the ultra-fluffiness of the waffle with lots of air pockets within. My definition of a dream waffles. I tried various flavours before settling for these 2. The lychee martini ice cream had generous bits of lychee within and a mild taste of martini. Very icy and light as snowflakes, it was feather-light on the tongue. The pulut hitam flavour provided a nice contrast with its creamy texture with hard and chewy grains of black rice. Furthermore, they come in huge scoops! 😀

Chapter 55 has a promising ala-carte menu that I’ve been wanting to try too! But next time if anyone asks me for awesome waffles, it’d be Chapter 55.
